Just as William and others were preparing, a Battleship was coming towards them.
The leader was a Lieutenant Colonel, a branch Lieutenant Colonel from the Marine Branch near the island of Svetlana.
Not Headquarters. In Four Seas, the Marine Department of the Branch Headquarters will be dealt with by Headquarters by three levels.
A Marine saluted the lieutenant colonel on the deck and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, it's almost time for Svitters."
The Lieutenant Colonel nodded and said, "This time it is a request from Vice-Admiral Golden Lion, it must be completed beautifully."
"I don't quite understand."
The young Marine wondered, "Why does a Vice-Admiral care about a pirate without a bounty?"
The Lieutenant Colonel shook his head. "I'm not sure, but since Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un has a request, we naturally won't take it with us. After all, East Blue is Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un's hometown and Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un is East Blue's pride. We can't refuse Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un's request."
He did not dare to refute.
Although it is said that regardless of whether it is the branch of Four Seas or the branch of Headquarters, as long as it is a base, the Base Chief must have great power. According to the procedure, they can refuse the orders of Golden Lion.
However, there was no need for that. Jin Lu is a famous person in East Blue, including his subordinate, "Great Shield" Kaz. In the past, he was only a small branch chief of East Blue, but because he followed Jin Lu, he first made a great name for himself in East Blue. Later on, after he entered Headquarters, he returned to be under Jin Lu and is now a Brigadier General of Headquarters.
As a Marine, who doesn't want to go to Headquarters?
If things go well and Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un is happy, they might also go to Headquarters.
Just as they were about to see the outline of the island, Marine, who was watching from the mast above, suddenly shouted, "Lieutenant Colonel, there are ships ahead, many ships!"
The Lieutenant Colonel took out his binoculars and looked ahead. From the angle of the binoculars, he could see a large number of ships suddenly driving out of the port of Swifts. On the canvas of those ships hung the pirate flag of their target for this trip!
"That Skeleton Flag…"
The Lieutenant Colonel took out a photo, which was exactly the same as the Skeleton Flag.
"Give me the Den Den Mushi." The Lieutenant Colonel ordered the young Marine next to him.
"Yes!"
The Marine shouted and ran into the Battleship and took out a loudspeaker Den Den Mushi and handed it to the Lieutenant Colonel.
At this moment, at the port, William and others, who had just opened the canvas and comforted the civilians, were ready to sail.
"B-Boss!"
A pirate scrambled into the Captain's room and pointed outside: "A Battleship has been found!"
In the cabin, there were three people besides William.
Elmira, who has a gentle face and a wise expression, is the navigator, sniper, and gunman of this pirate group.
The man was muscular and wore a pair of iron gloves. His name was Mont Blanc and he was the cook and battle captain of this pirate group. He was also a Striker.
There was also a thin and agile-looking man with a dagger behind his waist. His name was Swire and he was the intelligence officer in charge of the ship.
These three people are the three cadres of the 'Sam Pirates', and the most trustworthy people under William.
"Marines?"
Among the three of them, Montblanc clenched his fist and said, "Just nice, we can use Marine as our famous battle!"
Swire smirked and reached for the dagger behind his waist.
Elmyra hesitated and looked at William.
"Is he here… It seems that my preparations were not wrong. I was indeed discovered."
William stood up slowly and held a western sword beside the bed. "Then let them see the power of our 'Sam Pirates'!"
"Yes, Captain!" the three men called.
… .
"Ah?!"
In Fortress G-3, Kuro stared at Crowe and raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that again?"
"Mr. Kuro, the Marine operation to find Sam William failed." Crowe had to repeat himself.
Kuro said, "Are you serious? Are you sure you repeated my words in full? There are no other additions? What I want is for them to talk to him. They can remove the pirate name. Anyway, there is no bounty."
"Yes, it's completely repeated. The Lieutenant Colonel over there did have that plan, but they were attacked by Sam William before they could advance," said Crowe.
"Any casualties?" Kuro frowned.
"No."
Crowe shook his head. "This is a rare place. No one in our Marine died, not even injured. According to that Lieutenant Colonel, as soon as they shouted, there was a white mist over there, and then a bullet shot off their mast, causing them to be unable to sail. After the white mist dissipated, those ships disappeared."
"One bullet? Not a cannonball?" Kuro was stunned.
"Yes, bullets, the most common lead bullet." Crowe pushed up his glasses. "According to the description of that Lieutenant Colonel, Mr. Kuro, the person who fired the shot will definitely be domineering. And that sudden white fog, it is very likely that he is a metahuman."
The people in the East China Sea don't know much about Devil Fruit, and they even treat it as a legend, but the people in the Grand Line know that for many inexplicable things, their first reaction must not be that this place is magical, but that it is a movement caused by ability users.
"In addition, there is one more thing. The Battleship has arrived in Sweetos. The civilians there don't mention Sam William's whereabouts and they don't welcome our Marine," Crowe said.
Kuro leaned back in his chair, bit his cigar, and slowly blew out a mouthful of smoke. "Ability users, and Haki, their prestige near the station is still very high, and they have been sailing for a total of ten years… They are not just naive people who use the name of 'Pirate'. How can there be such people in East Blue, something is not right."
Crowe's lips twitched.
Aren't you from East Blue? You haven't been famous for ten years.
"Let CP check again carefully. I feel that things are not that simple. Also, has anything happened to G-3 recently?"
"No, there's nothing going on except the daily cruise," said Crowe.
"Okay, take the ship out, you and Leda come back with me," Kuro said.
"Eh? Kuro, are you going back to East Blue?" On the sofa, Leda turned her head and asked.
Kuro nodded and pointed at the table with his finger and said, "If such a person appears, we must go back. In East Blue, no one can get rid of such a person. Ask the Marines near the other three routes of the Reverse Mountain to pay attention and see if there are any people with this kind of Pirate Flag. The other four routes also say hello and let Shichibukai move."
In East Blue, it's fine if you have metahumans, but it's not right for you to have Haki.
Where did this old dog come from!
"In short, East Blue will not allow such an awesome person to appear!"
Kuro said fiercely, "If you find one, kill one. If you find it on the island, bury it in the ground. If you find it in the sea, sink it into the sea!"
His hometown is in the East China Sea. It was not easy for him to kill so many pirates and ensure a relative peace in the East China Sea. Now, there is another old Gou, and he is from the same hometown…
Why didn't he notice it before?
